On business last month I was in St Paul. They were tearing down an old church to rebuild it a newer design. I was trying to figure out how much time it would take to "delead" the piles of broken stained glass before my flight back.

Really poorly. Though I keep hoping someday the $20 bucks I paid in materials to make them will pay out. I would settle for a hundred pounds.When you sweat over your wheel weights, and over your casting pot, and then hate to shoot your boolits cause someone else will get em.

When you spend more time digging through the berm at the shooting range trying to recover
spent lead than you do casting & shooting...
Slow Elk 45/70
Lol same here. I went to the range Sunday with 50 cartridges of 40 cal. Came back with 200+ brass and 15 pounds of lead. God bless CHL classes.
When you have mixed emotions about spending the day shooting anything 40 caliber and up.

I went to my local range shortly after the last of the snow melted but the ground was still frozen except for the one inch of mud on top. I picked up about 35 pounds of lead bullets that had been shot over the winter. With the ground being frozen and the snow cover holding them down they were laid out in a nice area about 10 feet wide and 40 feet long. They all seem to be commercially cast bullets and will add to my mixings in my casting pot.
